MENDlNG CLOTHES,
Suggestions for Ladies' Who Know But
Little About Patching and Darning.

Suggestions for Ladies' VINO Know But
Little About Patching and Darning.
The people in this world who get
beyond the use of patches on gar
ments are few and exceedingly foolish.
We formerly knew the wife, now de-
ceased, of millionaire who, to her
dying day, took great pride in her
ability to patch clothes neatly, not
from parslmonious motives, but be-
cause she was very sensible woman.
Our esteem for the lady was all the
greater on this account.
But not every one is able to neatly
lay patch or darn rent who may
desire to do so, hence we advance q
few helpful suggestions: In patching,
start by cutting a piece of material of
a size slightly larger than to complete
ly cover the worn place. Cut it ac-
curately by the thread; nothing looks
more untidy than a crooked patch
with unshapely corners.
Next turn in a narrow fold on the
four sides of the patch, lay it in place
outside the worn part and tack fast.
Sew it on all around, either like a
seam, or else fell it. If it lies close
and fiat the lacking threads may then
come away.
Now the work must go on from the
wrong side, by first cutting away the
worn piece, leaving enough margin to
turn in as for hem. Cut little hicks at
the corners to allow it to lay flat, and
fell it all around. The corners should
be as we'll shaped as. are those of the
the right side, and then an ill-shaped
circle of much smaller dimensions on
the wrong side, as one sometimes sees,
is to spoil the work, SO far as looks go.
To neatly match the stripes or figure
of the garment by the new material Is
one-half in doing fine patching. When
patch is completed lay an old hand
kerchief or other thin cloth over it and
press out with hot iron.
Flannel may be mended in the same
way as described, only that instead of
the edges being folded in, leave fiat
and instead of being felled they should
be herring boned all round.
Sheets and similar articles that are
worn thin by long use, and are too
weak to patch must be darned. For
this, real darning cotton, not that used
for stockings, but soft, fine article
made for the purpose, should be used.
When darning take quite half an
inch extra on either side, and not just
the very thin place itself ana that only.
If so done there is danger of the
mended part not getting through the
first wash without breaking out. By
running several lines of strong sewing
cotton round the thin part before do
ing the darning it will strengthen the
foundation greatly, and Will not show
afterwards.
Use a long, fine darner for fine
fabrics, thicker one for coarser cloth.
Take a thread and miss two threads
uniformly, going straight across.
Leave a moderate loop at the end to
allow for shrinking, turn and go back
again, getting your stitches on a line
with each other Chicago NeaOs.

The Ancient Fashion of "Rights and
Lefts' and the Venerable Taste for High
Heels.
The fashion of "rights and lefts''
seems to be very old one. The shoes
of Bernard, King Of Italy, found in his
tomb were Fright and left'; the soles
were of wood, the upper part red
leather, laced with thongs; and they
fitted SO closely that the order Of the
toes might easily be discovered.
Shakespeare himself describe his sraith
as
STAND ing on slippers which his nimble haste
Had falsely thrust upon contrary feet"
Another writer of the same time OBJ
serves that 'he who receiveth a mis-
chance will consider whether he put
ON his shirt wrong side outward or MS
left shoe on his right foot" rights
and lefts," however, fell into disuse
for a long period. They were revived
about the beginning Of this century.
The taste for high heels is also of
ancient date. The seventeenth centu-
ry was perhaps the time when lovely
woman most delighted in torturing her
foot at that period she was in the
habit Of using "a pair Of wedges
which were ito raise up shoe in the
instep when it was too straight for the
top of the foot" The dandy London
guardsman of 1900 was very particular
about his boots. He never walked,
through fear of making them dusty,
and a large part of his Wallets time was
taken up by the labor of rubbing and
polishing his masters copper heels
The boots themselves were cleaned
with very expensive backing, made
after the recipe concocteu by a famous
beau, with maraschino in it, and oil
of lavender, and twenty other things.
The Greeks and Normans, when at
the height of their prosperity, wore
rich sandals of cloth of gold, silk or
other precious stuffs; the soles were of
cork, which, for that reason, was called
sandal-wood, and they were, usually,
at least one finger thick. Sometimes
they sewed five soles one over another.
They were covered within and without
with leather broader than the cork.
The early Anglo-Saxons also wore san
dals. The Egyptians made their shoes
of papyrus or palm leaves. Stubs,
the satirist of Shakespeare time, de-
scribes cork shoes or pantofier slip
pers) as bearing up their wearers two
inches or more from the ground; as of
various colors. and raised, carved, cut
or stitched; as frequently made of vel
vet, embroidered with the precious
metals, and covered with enormous
and valuable roses of ribbon, curiously
r ornamented. = Chicago Shoe and Leath-

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

DIR. Hidden. in the Western Record
er, tells of certain church-member
whose business absorbed his entire
time and energies. His little three
year-old girl, who was specializing on
the question which of her relatives
were likely to go to Heaven, said:
"Well, l reckon mamma will 90, and
Sister Mary, and Aunt Susan, and
papaP-No, don't reckon he will 60,
because he can't lea0e the store
On a recent Sunday census of the
attendance of the churches of London
was taken. It showed that 46O,OO0
attended the services in the morning
and 100000 at night. The largest es-
tablished church, St. Paul's Cathedral,
had an evening attendance of 3,403.
Mr.. Surgeons church was at the
head of the dissenting churches, hav-
ing morning attendance of 4,519, and
an evening attendance of 500.
Hon. William McMasters, of Toronto,
Can, has been a very liberal con-
tributor to Baptist institutions. He has
just given them another $3.50. 900 for
educational purposes. The Religious
Heratd, of Richmond, says that up to
within a comparatively few years he
loved money and chung to it, but some
one induced him to make large gift
and that put a good taste in his
mouth" and now he gives for the love
of it. He built splendid church in
Toronto.
There is a large Catholic church in
Washington attended exclusively by
colored people, with black saints in the
inches, and other things to correspond.
1t is attended by colored aristocracy
and a membership in it is considered a
sign of tone by some. There is a fine
choir of negro voices, and masses are
sung quite as we'll as Ia those attended
by the whites. There is also colored
Episcopal church, the rector of which
is graduate of Trinity College and a
man of much ability. But aside from
the two Presbyterian churches nearly
the entire colored population attend
worship at those of the Methodist or
Baptist faith. Washington Post.

ABUSE OF TEA.
It's Injurious Effects Vastly Beyond the
General Supposition.

EHectS vastly Beyond tile
General Superstition.
All drugs which in small doses slight
ly stimulate OF tranquilize are harmful
in large doses. Paregoric is a mild sed-
alive, but the terrible condition OF
the confirmed opium-eater is well
known. Choral, when introduced, was
greatly welcomed by physician and pa
tient, but the excessive use of 1t has
changed it to a curse. Even cocaine,
the youngest and seemingly the most
innocent of all, has already its victims.
A law that holds good OF all suck
drugs is the following, viz: tlat the de-
sired effect does not continue to be de-
rived from the quantity which was at
first used, but that the system, becom-
ing partly habituated to it's use, requires
that the quantity be steadily increased,
while the injurious results increase in
the same ratio. Hence, all use tends to
abuse.
The above is true of that beverage
which "cheers but not inebriates. -
We should expect it TO be true of tea
from its nature, and facts prove it to
be SO. The abuse of tea in multitude
of cases, and the consequent injurious
effects, are vastly beyond what are gen.
orally supposed.
When tea is analysed it is found to
contain two powerful principles or
characteristic MISUNDERSTANDING acid
and theme. The former is the astrin-
gent Familiarity known as tannin. 1t
is this, obtained from bark, which hard
ems skin into leather. Theme is vio-
lent poison. Probably both the tannic
acid and the theme concur in produc-
ing the effect which comes from excess
i've tea-drinking.
This is twofold. 1t is partly ON the
digestive and partly on the nervous
system-in the first case. giving rise to
atomic dyspepsia, and in the second to
irritability, p tlpitation- of the heart,
wakefulness and brain fatigue. Says
the British Medical Journal: The suf-
ferers from excessive tea-drinking may
be grouped into three classes: %
The large class of pure brain-workers,
who speedily discover that while alco-
hol is pernicious to them, tea affords
the stimulus they desire. They indulge
in it without fear of mischief, and
often to an unlimited extent. After
time, the neurotic symptoms make
their appearance, and, in many cases.
do much to impair temper and to
limit the capacity for sustained useful
ness. (2) The large class of women
of the better classes who begin with
afternoon tea often end by using their
favorite stimulant in the intervals be-
tween all meals of the day. The result
is that appetite is impaired, and the
prostration due to insufficient nourish-
ment is combated with more rotations.

en- who, finding it difficult to provide a
